To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JAMES F. LOGKHART, a citizen of the United States,residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking Vessels forExhaust-Pipes of Internal-Combustion Engines, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to cooking vessels and more particularly tospecially constructed vessels to fit the ordinary exhaust pipe of aninternal combustion engine.

It is known that certain inventions have been patented for cookingattachments for receiving cooking vessels but the dbject of thisinvention is to provide a cooking vessel to fit firmly on an exhaustpipe of an internal combustion engine without any alterations orattachments to the exhaust pipe.

Another object of the improved invention is to provide 'a convenientdetachable cookin vessel that will fit the exhaust pipe ad oining aninternal combustion engine so that the greatest heat efiiciency will beutilized.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in thefeatures of construction combinations and arrangements of partshereinafter set forth, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and moreparticularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a fragmentary View in side elevation of anautomobile with a portion of the hood broken away to show the cookingvessel placed on the exhaust pipe and engine.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fi 1illustratin the tight and clinging fit o the vessel to t e exhaust pipe.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged side view in elevation showing the side adapted tofit the exhaust pipe.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged inverted plan view of the vessel.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the engine and exhaust pipe toreceive the vessel.

- Fig. 6 is a plan view of Fig. 5.

The engine 7 and exhaust pipe 8 as shown are of the Ford automobiledesign, although it is not desired to limit the application of theinvention to Ford cars.

Mounted upon the exhaust pipe is a coffee pot 9 composed of sides 10 and11, ends 12 and 13, and bottom 14 irregularly curved, the portion 15ads. ted to fit the top of the exhaust pipe and t eportion 16 adapted toconform to the to corner of the engine.

Secured -b sol or or other means to the portion 17 o the bottom are legs18, extending downward far enough to grip the exhaust pipe and hold theoofiee pot thereto and also to the depth of the bottom of pert1on 15 sothat the coffee pot may red in an upright positlon upon any levelconvenient p ace.

Spout 20, handles 21 and 22 and percolator 23 are of common and wellknown construction and are arran ed so that a erson may remove the lid%4, pour a esired amount of water therein, place the necessary cofi'eein the percolator, and mount upon the exhaust ipe and engine, as shownin Fig. 1, to cook y the heat enerated from the exhaust pipe. When eeofl'ee is cooked the person may take hold of handle 21, lift the petfrom the engine, tilt it by means of handle 22, and'pour the coffee fromthe spout 20.

Upon the particular illustrated engine are three bolts 2'5, and thertion 16 of the coffee pot is provided wit reoeses 26 adapted to receivethe bolt heads and 'aid in holding the vessel ri 'd withthe engine andexhaust pipe when t e automobile is in motion.

I; will be understood that the object of this invention is to constructa cooking vessol to fit the exhaust pipe of an internal combustionengine without altering any portion of the engine or pipe and cook foodor liquid placed in the vessel, and when cooked the vessel may beremoved with the contents therein to the desired place of consunr ion.

Having described my invention, w t I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is In.combination with an internal combustion. engineand an exhaust manifold ipe arranged longitudinally thereof, a -'ngvessel arranged longitudinally of said exhaust manifold pi the bottom ofsaid was side of said vessel extending upward from sel provided wit a.downwardly facing the side of said exhaust manifold and thentransversely disposed oonoeved face from laterally over the c linderheads of the en- 10 end to end of the vessel, said conoaved faoe 'neresting on sei cylinder heads, a, spout conforming to the upper side ofthe exhaust 1n one end of said vessel, and a. handle on manifold i indresting thereon and in the opposite end of said vessel. close proxnnltythereto, the side wall of one JAMES F. LOCKHART.
